Morphology

recordless = record (transparent) = record + less

The adjective follows the predictable pattern 'record' (a recording) + '-less' meaning 'not recorded' or 'without a recording'.

Etymology

The word recordless comes from record, a saved note or a sound kept like a music 'record', and the ending -less, which means 'without'. So recordless means not captured or kept as an audio or video record, which is why it describes events that were not recorded.
